Change AppSettings in App.Config of another Exe

Question

I have a C # .NET Console EXE application with app.config indicating several ApplicationSettings parameters used as parameters.

I have an additional separate (Windows Forms) exe (located in the same directory) to allow the ApplicationSettings used by the first exe to be modified by the user.

What is the cleanest way to change the first exe app.config from the second exe?

Thanks.

public static Configuration OpenExeConfiguration(

)

Answer 2

Using:

Configuration cfg = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(path_to_exe_file_of_second_app);
// do whatever you need with that configuration
cfg.Save();

, OpenExeConfiguration exe , .
